Bowling Green writer thinks UNT will win the Sun Belt west.

"When the conference tournament rolls around, I expect only four teams to have a legitimate shot at the championship – Western Kentucky, Middle Tennessee, Arkansas-Little Rock and North Texas.

If the Toppers are going to make their fourth NCAA Tournament in five years, they are going to have to start playing better on the road with North Texas hosting this year.

Those are the teams that I think will be competing for the conference championship although I would include ULL on that list as well. Although they have been off and on this entire season, when they are on their game, they are one of the best teams in the conference. But overall the West division is weak this year, just look at the teams at the bottom of the schedule. Thankfully we don't have to deal with those east division teams all to much until the conference tourny.

Right now ESPN.com has Arkansas State for some reason as their Sun Belt rep to the tourny in their bracketology, ESPN Bracketology

I think the Belt has a real shot at getting 2 teams in the tourney this year. The way WKU has been playing they should atleast make the NIT if they dont with the SBC Championship. I think Best case scenario NT wins the champ and WKU gets an at large bid to the tourney. They normally take what the top 64 teams both NT and WKU are considered top 64 right now by most polls. I see WKU winning 20 this year atleast which should put them in and I wouldnt be suprised if NT wins 20 also.
